Gundam Plamodel Thread IV

[kajnrig]

So Barnes and Noble have a Labor Day 20% off coupon for any one item. Use the code "LABORDAY17" at checkout and you can get Gunpla for pretty cheap. The GM Sniper II for about $32 + free shipping, for example. Cheers.

[kajnrig]

RE: above post about Barnes and Noble coupon, there's also the Justice and Providence Gundams for $44 shipped apiece after the coupon. Not bad prices at all. And if you want multiple kits, you might be able to reuse the coupon in quick succession. I was able to do so last time I bought kits from BnN, so best of luck.

NEVER MIND IT'S A PHOTOSHOP I GOT DUPED.

Oh man the recolors and extra parts they can release for a PG Exia, Bandai is going to make a ton off this mold.

[anime52k8]

how much is gonna be recycled from the PG 00 raiser? I'm trying to cut back on expesive stuff but I really like Exia and I've always kind of wanted another PG kit.

Can you think of another straight recolor other than Trans-Am Mode?

Extra parts: Astraea, Astraea Type F, Avalanche, Avalanche Dash... Dare we imagine a 1/60 GN Arms Type E?

IIRC, the MGs of these respective kits didn't share frames at all, right? And then the Quanta reused parts of the 00 frame... Did it reuse Exia parts, too?

What about the RGs? I want to say that all three shared a common frame, but I've only ever built the Quanta and haven't paid much attention to them...

That's a pretty nice photoshop, maybe one day..... 

Oh for recolors I was also thinking of the eventual 7-11 repaint hopefully in a tacky gold color. Some more extra parts could be for Exia Amazing and Dark Matter. C'mon Bandai it's easy money, just release the PG near Christmas without any announcement to surprise us all.

[David Hingtgen]

Ok, so now they've done a Gyanko kit----where's RAIN?????   She even showed up in GBF....

[davidwhangchoi]

i want that p-bandai justice

[Duymon]

I was at Barnes and Nobles with my wife. I saw 3 MG GM Sniper II's in the corner at 50% off, and I also had a 15% off coupon and a $20 gift card :0

I caved because 0080 is my fav and the GM sniper was the one I wanted the most as a kid (the $80 B-Club conversion parts were not in my price range :p)

Still need to do the dry transfers, coat of future, then apply the water decals I ordered from ebay once they arrive, then a matte coat :0

Now I need to get the White Dingo version and also Order up some of those P-Bandai RGM-79GS GM Commands that are coming out in November

It's pretty much a given Bandai will probably release the ground type next. Maybe there's hope for a cold-type GM and maybe a revamped NT-1 since the MG NT-1 kit has been around since when I quit MG Gundams in High School.... 17 years ago.....

Man, how do people keep finding such blowout deals on Gunpla... I can never just go to my BnN and find an MG (much less one I want) for 50% off. I'm so jealous lol.

How much did they come out to total?

[Duymon]

It was like $50 after tax for the 3 of them ((((49.99 x 3) x .5) x .85 -20) + Tax)

Pretty much lost my crap when I saw how cheap it was considering Image Anime was asking $55 for just one lol.

Too bad I won't get that kind of deal on the P-Bandai stuff though.

Dammit more distraction!!

^ I don't know who's Deborah Galiena is, but her Advanced GN-X looks lovely.

 

[anime52k8]

I specifically bought two of the regular GN-X advanced thinking I'd paint one these colors. I really like the red version, but I'm gonna pass on a third one and just paint one of the two I have.

[Duymon]

I am so hyped for the P-Bandai MG Hazel coming out this month (other batches released in oct and nov too). Really hope they do more AoZ line in MG. Since the hazel has so many similarities to the Quel I wish the Quel would get a Mk 2 Ver 2 based iteration too since the old quel from 99 is balls

Edited September 13, 2017 by Duymon

[dizman]

Yeah we could use a new GM Quel and GM Custom mold.

I'm hoping the success of the Hazel MG pushes Bandai to make the Woundwort in MG. They could do a regular release and have all the different armor add-ons be P-Bandai to make maximum money off the mold!

[Duymon]

That would be so awesome to have the Woundwort and the other variations of the Hazel.

Throw in a few Gm Sniper III's and the AoZ Titans ver Gaplant and I'd be mega happy.

Hell.. at this point I'd settle for Re 1/100 . They've been pretty nice based off my experience with the GP04

[Duymon]

Reviews are coming out of the ZZ Ver Ka. Lookin good O_o

tempted to order it right now so I get the limited decals...but part of me thinks there will be a P-Bandai FAZZ... 

This isn't some forgettable V2 ver ka that never got its assault or buster form, it's a Staple fan fav so there's hope we'll see some ZZ addons

 

Edited September 19, 2017 by Duymon

[chyll2]

not really a fan of ZZ and I thought to myself that the ver.Ka still does not make me like it. I think it is starting to grow on me.

[dizman]

Oh I'm sure we will see the full armor set sometime soon, that design is even more popular than the standard ZZ. I'm gonna wait for the eventual Sentinel FAZZ as well, I've always liked that colorscheme more and all the Ver Ka markings on the new RD figure make it even better!

[chyll2]

Voting for the next version.ka

 

http://www.gundam.info/top.php

 

 

Personal opinion: don't vote for Lupus Rex (picture shown is Lupus). Please vote for very old material that really need revisit or material that is not released in 1/100

[kajnrig]

That besides, the Lupus Rex would look terrible as a Ver Ka. Then again, most designs look terrible as a Ver Ka, so maybe my opinion is worth about as much as the electrons spent transmitting it. :/

Voted for the Age-FX, though maybe I should have voted for the G-Self just so that series can get some MG love.

[no3Ljm]

Ha! Voted for Gundam AGE FX as well.

Would love to see a Zeta Gundam ver.Ka. But the last Zeta v2 already looks ver.Ka for me.

 

[Scyla]

I've voted for the Gundam 00 Raiser since it is one of my favorite Gundam designs and I think a Katoki design of it would be quite interesting. 

[chyll2]

UC design are mostly 80 to 90% ver. Ka compliant lol

 

I don't know what my final vote since I am switching between FX and G-self

Edited September 20, 2017 by chyll2

[dizman]

I don't care if it's a Ver Ka or whatever, I just want a MG G-Self so that's what got my vote.

[kajnrig]

I do really love the G-Self's head design, and the rest of its design, too, for the most part. It would be great to see it get an MG.

The only reason the Barbatos has so many votes is because, surprise surprise, IBO was the most recent Gundam series and fresh in the audience's minds. Japanese audiences' goldfish memory irritates me greatly sometimes. It's that same mentality that got us more Final Fantasy XIII and more Lightning than anyone besides Toriyama wanted.

The MG V1 and the PG are all the ver.Ka. you could wish for.

Now where's the button to vote for a proper S-Gundam ver.Ka.?...

[Duymon]

Too bad there's not much UC stuff on that list.

Barbatos? really?

I would vote for an RX-78 NT-1, RX-78-4 / RX-78-5, or hell the RX-78-6 Mudrock.

WHere is my 1/100 Mudrock gaaaaah

Edited September 20, 2017 by Duymon

[dizman]

I'm a bit surprised we still don't have a Mudrock in any modern form, I guess it's an old design like the RX-78XX Pixie that Bandai figures nobody wants. 

If you are any good with resin there is a new 3rd party RG conversion. https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2017/09/model-bingo-rg-1144-rx-78-6-gundam.html

Oooooh, looks so noice.

Too bad I don't do 1/144  MG conversion kit or bust.

I am so tempted to pick up an MG Wing --> Gundam F90 conversion kit on evilbay
